TÜRKÇİMENTO Provides a Golden Support to the Competition in Batman University

The competition on “Cement Based Fibre Composites’ Performance in High temperature-2024’ held with the participation of the entire civil engineering departments under the leadership of the of the Department of Civil Engineering of the Batman University was completed with a great success under the golden sponsorship of “TÜRKÇİMENTO.  

The competition hosted by the university was held with the participation of a distinguished jury at national level. Associate Prof. Dr. Serhat Demirhan of Batman University, Assistant Prof. Dr. İbrahim Halil Demirel, Dr. İbrahim Özgür Dedeoğlu, Research Assistant Kübra Çevrim, Research Assistant.

The jury members worked meticulously during the competition and identified the most innovative and durable designs. Various mixing parameters of the cement based materials were offered to the students that are effective in fire resilience and they were asked to create the design that may show the highest resistance to high temperature. This six month- challenging competition were applied by totally 8 groups from the department of Civil engineering, Kozluk Vocational Highschool Building Supervision Program and technical Sciences Vocational High School Construction Technology Program.   The first prize was supported by TÜRKÇİMENTO in the competition where “Group of Butterflies” of the Vocational High School accomplished a great success by winning the first prize.  

Ali Demirbaş of R&D Institute who presented the first prize on behalf of TÜRKÇİMNENTO delivered a presentation where he provided overview regarding TÜRKÇİMENTO’s functioning and gave latest updates as to construction and debris waste which turned into a major problem not only for the world but also for our country; and further touched upon the issue of why and how these wastes should be evaluated within the context of building materials.
